I think it's a question of format.
The first line you cant use :-), so write a comment into the second line of your code in the node. That means, when downloading code, your script has to parse the second line for the options "numbered=yes" or "no" and or any other things, so your little script will know if to strip line numbers or to mask them within comments. The authors information your script could include then anywhere within the file just using POD's author information and copyright notice, and if you want your script could even include the whole description from the original node within that POD.
Well, once more thinking about that, yes, I think perlmonks could generate such a file for you when you download the code. So you don't have to parse :-) but get a script with a nice "small(?)" POD, eh?
well perl can ..

Have a nice day
All decision is left to your taste
Update :
As perlmonks (or better to say Everything) uses XML why not to support tags when you post your script such as

<info>
 <author>
  <name>blah</name>
  <email>blubber@blob.com</email>
  <funnythings>for my mom's pride</funnythings>
 </author>
 <more>
 </more>
</info>
[download]

just before or after the code or just somehow else

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
